Chapter 153 "New Hero"
"That's all I have to say about this. Brothers are usually timid and afraid of things, but today, Brother Li is righteous first, and Brother Ximen's reasonable summary is later. I can't stand by. In fact, what Brother Ximen said just now is very correct. Everyone should connect the things that came in. In the past, I always thought that Brother Ximen was a playboy and couldn't get on the stage. Unexpectedly, when I heard it today, I knew that I used to look down on people. Brother Ximen, I hope you can forgive me. Xu, the shopkeeper of the coffin shop, said, punched Ximen Qing, and then sat down.
Ximen Qingwan didn't expect that his words would have such an effect. Manager Xu has regarded himself as a real opinion leader in his words. Manager Xu usually doesn't talk much in the Yanggu business circle, but it is very important. He does have great benefits for himself by saying so.
But why is that? I just explained with logical relationships in words that these things have something to do with Wu Song, which actually attracted people's support? Ximenqing can't figure out about this matter, but Manager Xu has finished talking, and the rest needs to be further analyzed by himself.
Ximenqing held his fist before speaking: "I am ignorant and a little shallow opinion, and I will make a fool of you. What Manager Xu said was indeed a little too much to love, which made me unable to bear it. I may know a little more about Rouge Lane than you. I don't know if you still have any impression. In fact, this is not the first fire in Rouge Lane in recent years. A few years ago, there was a brothel called Yinghong Pavilion in Rouge Lane, which also suffered a similar fire. It was also a big fire that burned everything up. Later, the government only gave an identification result of the accidental fire. Not long after, a new brothel was built at the site of the fire, called the Water Pavilion. At that time, when the name was made, it was said that he wanted to use the word water to extinguish the fire so that there would be no fire. Of course, although it was an accidental fire, the actual reason is that everyone knows that this is because of the retaliatory arson caused by the uneven division of local interests in Rouge Lane. After that, there were also several fires in Rouge Lane. Finally, under the coordination of the government, peace was finally restored, and the public security improved. Get up. Although there are still many rumors that there are human lives in Rouge Lane almost every month, it is an exaggeration to rely on the observation of Rouge Lane in the past two years.
Ximenqing said this and looked at the people around him. He found that even the lady who asked the question had been attracted by his own words and forgot the purpose of asking everyone to come, but the topic could not float outside for too long. It was always necessary to return to this star. At about time, it was time to go back.
Ximenqing took a deep breath: "Most of you are engaged in business. How is the public security on the ground? Everyone should know it best. In the past year, our Yanggu has been basically extremely peaceful. Of course, there have also been several murders, such as Fourth Master Qi in the county government, a murder in the Osmanthus Building, Wu Song's brother Wu, Wu Song's wife's aunt Wang's aunt, and so on. In addition to these, it is basically a peaceful and prosperous era.
In fact, Ximenqing knew that Yanggu County looked quite peaceful, but after all, there were so many people, so it was not rare to have a headless murder case. But the key to the problem is that except for the murder of Wu Song, everything else is not famous. It is also because Wu Song is a evil star. Since he came to Yanggu, all kinds of inexplicable things have also increased. In fact, everyone also knows about this, so when summarizing the incident, it is inevitable that he will be selectively blind. When it is mentioned, it is also in line with the thoughts of ordinary people.
Of course, Ximenqing said these real thoughts to hope that everyone agrees with one of his views, that is, since Wu Song came, all the murders in Yanggu will more or less have something to do with him, as long as everyone has this idea in their hearts. According to this logical relationship, what does such a big fire and murder case have to do with Wu Song in a good public security situation?
As long as only one in 10 of the people present have such a little idea, Ximen Qing believes that he is successful, because he is challenging a legendary hero as a gangster. How difficult it is!
"I'm sorry, everyone, I'm a little off topic. I'm so happy to see such a bold lady, and I don't have a handle." Ximenqing laughed at himself, and then said conclusively: "Through these narratives, I think that the emergence of this red star does not mean a big disaster, nor herald the appearance of a great hero. On the contrary, this star represents the appearance of a demon. There is a saying: 'Northwest view, shoot Sirius', which is also in line with Daxian's saying. But I think that when the devil appears in the world, there must be heroes to kill him. Maybe there is really someone who can bend his bow and arrows and shoot down this red star. Of course, these are all nonsense, right or wrong, all to make everyone happy. Ximenqing finally punched around and sat down calmly. A man held the new hot tea and handed it to Ximenqing.
(There is a correlation between Su Shi's poems, and there are notes in the previous article "Section 18 Yin and Yang Fire", which will not be repeated here.)
It was not until then that Ximen Qing was a little afraid. This remark has caused a terrible disaster. Although it deliberately blurs the original meaning, as long as it is not a fool, it will suddenly hear its true meaning. Wu Song is the devil. If not, how could he bring so many bloody disasters to Yanggu? So much so that when Ximenqing was drinking tea, the edge of the teacup collided with his teeth and made a "jingle" sound.
"It makes sense." The others here whispered, muttered three words, and then turned to Ximenqing. At this time, there was already a lot of respect in Ximenqing's eyes, which Ximenqing had never enjoyed. In Ximenqing's consciousness, this kind of gaze will only be projected on heroes and to people like Wu Song. I have never thought about it.
What surprised Ximen Qing was that when he said such a radical word, the people at the scene were actually thinking about it. No one came out to face to oppose and put forward different opinions. You know, when the Chamber of Commerce discussed things, even if the president of the Chamber of Commerce said something, the people below would always refute it. To put it bluntly, these rich masters all think that they are the masters, and they will not give any face except the prestige of the official family.
But today, Ximen Qing has won everyone's respect as a grassroots citizen. A kind of obedience.
Ximenqing suddenly understood the truth, why did Shopkeeper Xu say that and why everyone looked at themselves like this. In fact, the reason is very simple, that is, Wu Song is not only one who is unpleasant to see. Haha, why have I never thought so? Yes, since Wu Song came to Yanggu, he is suitable for the welfare of the people? Before he came, the Yanggu County magistrate had already managed Yanggu very well. After he came, the smoke and miasma of Yanggu, and even the legendary ghosts and gods, would come out to mix them up. The flat-headed people worship heroes, but they worship the heroes in the story, because the heroes in the story will not splash blood on the readers when they kill the enemy, but Wu Song will. While every legend of Wu Song sounds exciting and exciting, it brings a lot of deep uneasiness to ordinary residents, especially buyers and sellers. After he came to Yanggu, there were more and more strange things in Yanggu, and he personally showed off his power. Unexpectedly, he quickly coiled the best restaurant in Yanggu as a poor boy, and let his brother, a dwarf, become the owner of the Guihua Building, and also the president of the Yanggu Chamber of Commerce. At his engagement, it happened. Like absurd things like "true and fake county magistrates", each of these things is actually decreasing points while adding points to Wu Song.
Wu Song, high above, can't be seen clearly. Brave martial arts are different from ordinary people, and the fear it brings to people is even more than ordinary people. Everyone feels threatened and feels that if Wu Song wants to, he can kill them at any time. Aren't these reasons enough to annoy and even hate Wu Song?
is enough.
So why are they silent and patient? Because they are timid, yes, just because they are timid, they just need a reason to say. Although my remarks sound absurd, I have said what many people want to say but dare not say. People no longer care what Ximen Qing said. As long as Ximen Qing said Wu Song's bad words, they will also tend to be correct and represent justice.
How did I win everyone's respect? The only reason is that I resisted their serious bully. The enemy of the enemy is a friend, and the person who takes the lead in resisting the powerful enemy is a hero. A real hero.
Ximenqing figured out the joints and sat more uprightly. Now I'm afraid it's useless. Anyway, Wu Song has been offended, so it's better to offend him thoroughly. Now even if Wu Da is really dead, even if everyone knows that it was Ximen Qing who sent Wu Da to the Mochou Hall, causing Wu Da to be burned to death, I'm afraid that these people here will not think that Ximen Qing is the murderer, and Ximen Qing will think that he is a knight who kills demons, and he will praise him. Yes, who would like a dwarf to ride on his head to domine? I'm afraid these traders have endured for a long time.
"What this Ximen said is reasonable and well-founded, and his views are novel and eye-catching. He is indeed a rare young talent, which is admired by the little woman very much." The lady celebrated her blessings to Ximen.
Ximenqing got up and returned the salute, and he was very proud.
"I don't know who else has a different point of view, can you talk about it?" The woman said to the others again.
The scene fell silent. Everyone, look at me, I look at you, and stare at you. At this time, the fat doctor who said what he had said before stood up: "The view outside Simon just now is very inspiring to me. I also think that everyone may take the stars for granted. For example, we all say that the arrival of this star represents a disaster. Although I didn't say what a disaster, it must be big. My family is the same as I thought, and they all think that this disaster is a natural disaster. Now think about it carefully, this disaster is likely to be a man-made disaster. I think we should be able to see this star in most places in the Song Dynasty, so this disaster will not be just one place in Yanggu. I think it is very likely that there will be man-made disasters everywhere. Now there are bandits everywhere, under the banner of robbing the rich and helping the poor, but in fact, you can understand that if they rob the poor, what can they do? Moreover, they only saw them rob the rich, but they rarely heard of helping the poor, and most of them were also used to help themselves. There are no bandits in Yanggu. This man-made disaster is another way to occur. I think this understanding is also smooth. I don't know what everyone thinks. The fat man turned the meat on his face and looked at the crowd.
Ximenqing hurriedly stood up: "Brother Xian's words make sense, but I don't think well. The main reason is that I am not as knowledgeable as you. I live freely in Yanggu and rarely have the opportunity to go out to see it. Therefore, when I think about problems, I can only naturally think of these things about Yanggu. Unlike Brother Xian, who can have a long-sighted view and look at the whole country. I really admire it." Ximen Qing knows that only this attitude can make others respect themselves more. The more they are in the position of leader, the more they need humility, which will give everyone a sense of approach.
"Where." The fat doctor hurriedly stretched out his hands and made a refusal: "I was completely inspired by Ximen. How can I accept the praise from Ximen? However, there is a saying outside Ximen that is quite right. This good man is ambitious in all directions, and a man should be born to dominate the world. When I was a teenager, I wanted to practice medicine all over the country. Later, I found that it was so difficult it was to realize this simple wish. In the end, I could only settle down and talk about the world in the fighting room, although It's heroic to discuss current affairs with generous people. In the final analysis, it's just a brave man, which is countless. The fat doctor's face showed a trace of memory of the past, and he stopped talking here.
After listening to these words, Ximen Qing felt that he should say something more. My brother is absolutely right. I'm taking advantage of my wife's banquet today. Ximenqing raised the tea bowl in his hand and treated it as being honored to the lady. The lady was slightly blessed as a return gift, with a smile on her face and nodded slightly, which meant to signal Ximen Qing to continue talking. I want to talk to everyone about something. At present, the country has internal and external troubles. As a good man, I, Ximen Qing, have decided not to do business. I want to lead many of the pharmacy and some volunteers to join the army and serve the country. By the way, I also went out to see it. Now, the matter of selling the pharmacy is already in progress. Many of you here should have been sold medicinal materials by my staff. If you want anything precious, just come to me to buy it. I will give you a 50% discount, which is at least half cheaper than usual. The brother originally wanted to give these things to his fellow villagers, but he had to go to the army and have some use in his hand, which is ashamed to get everyone's money. However, everyone can rest assured that since I, Ximen Qing, have decided to join the army, I will do my best to calm down man-made disasters and contribute to the peace and prosperity of the Song Dynasty.
The people around were quiet for a moment, and with the first "good", the scene suddenly boiled. These quiet and calm shopkeepers were actually cheering loudly.
This time, Ximenqing was stunned. His original intention was to take advantage of everyone's current goodwill towards him and take the opportunity to sell more medicinal materials so that he could prepare more entanglements. However, how can this kind of sales behavior on the table be so popular? What the hell is going on?
After cheering for a long time, Li boldly stood up: "Mr. Ximen, I admire your courage to sweep away 'man-made disasters' very much. I won't say anything. I gave all the 100 taels of silver given by my wife today to Mr. Ximen. I wish you success. Of course, I also say a small request on behalf of everyone here, that is, I hope that the Ximen will sweep away the man-made disaster and start nearby first.
A bolt from the blue. Ximen Qing really wanted to slap himself. It was hard to say anything. He had to say that he wanted to sweep away man-made disasters. He blamed the fat man. If he didn't say anything about man-made disasters, how could he think of such a word? Now it is clear that these people think that the "man-made disasters" they want to sweep include Wu Song.
Isn't this bullshit? It's too late for Wu Song to avoid such a fierce star. Now these people actually want to take the initiative to challenge Wu Song? You should know that Wu Song is the head of the county. He has mastered the real power of Yanggu County. He is brave and kills the living corpse. How powerful the corpse is, and I have seen it myself. According to the pharmacy shopkeeper, there are some powerful things on this person. If I fight with him now, it is simply a gift. Damn it.
This hundred taels of silver is originally an unexpected wealth. Li bold used this money that he didn't put in his pocket to let me die. It's really ridiculous. I can't take anything from this money. I have to think of an explanation and take it back.
Ximen Qinggang held his fists and was about to refuse. Xu, the shopkeeper of the coffin shop next to him, stood up: "Brother Li is right. My one hundred taels have also been given to Ximen, and the peace and Qingming of Yanggu depends on you."
The fat doctor also stood up immediately: "In addition to my hundred taels, Brother Ximen is really the great savior I have been waiting for."
At this moment, the scene was out of control. Almost all of them stood up one after another, saying that they didn't want today's silver and would be given to Ximenqing. In their words, they all revealed the intention of asking Ximenqing to fight with Wu Song.
Ximenqing's fists were still held, and his words of refusal were still in his mouth, but he couldn't say it because of these people's continuous "gifts of silver". He felt his knees shaking and his legs couldn't stand.
